about isis planning against the west. new details houn the paris attackers traveled among syrian refugees. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room." on this labor day when the general election campaign heats up, a new twist in donald trump still evolving immigration plan. trump says he's keeping his options open on whether to grant legal status to undocumented immigrants. just last week trump vowed there would be only one route to legal status, go back home and reapply for entry to the united states. hillary clinton says there's nothing new about trump's immigration stance insisting he's taking as hard a line as ever. tonight, the democratic nominee is answering questions from reporters flying with her on her plane. stand by for that.

also tonight, president obama cancels an upcoming meeting with the president of the philippines. this after the president lashed out at mr. obama calling him, and i'm quoting now, the soften a whore and saying he wouldn't be lectured on human rights by the u.s. president. we have exclusive new details and the isis terrorist behind the paris terror attacks traveled from syria along the route taken by refugees. cnn obtaining thousands of pages of information from the investigation, including never seen photos and texts between isis attackers and their handlers in syria. stand by for that. i'll talk presidential politics with democratic congressman and our correspondent, analysts and guests. they will have full coverage. up first, cnn senior white house correspondent with more on trump and his campaign swing through ohio. what's the latest?

>> reporter: trump seemed to carve out yet another position on immigration today telling reporters that he would not rule out granting legal status to undocumented immigrants in this country. it's another 180 you might experience on one of these rides at this county fair behind me that donald trump visited earlier today. it's another twist in donald trump's search for a position on immigration. this time on whether he would rule out a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants. >> can you rule out that one possibility in that determination? >> i'm not ruling out anything. >> reporter: problem is, trump has scratched that idea in the path to cnn. >> there's no path to legalization unless people leave the country. when they come back in, if they come back in, then they can start paying taxes. there's no path to legalization unless they leave the country and come back. >> reporter: trump's visit to this county fair in ohio was a

clear sign that the finish line to this carnival of a campaign is on the horizon. this stop wasn't the only reminder that labor day is the traditional kick off to the fall election season. there's also the image of hillary clinton's campaign plane parked in cleveland within few of trump force one. >> i'm so happy to have all you have with me. >> reporter: not to be out done by clinton's call to bring her traveling press aboard. >> do you want to sit? >> reporter: trump invited a small pool of reporters to join him on his plane, as well, to talk about the economy. as hi reae reached out to blue r workers, he had his eye on another plane. trump pointed to that diplomatic dust up in china from over the weekend when air force one was not greeted with staircase forcing president obama to use a back exit as he arrived for a g20 summit. proof that he gets no respect on the world stage. >> they won't even give him

proper stairs to get out of the airplane. you see that. they have pictures of other leaders going there and coming down with a beautiful red carpet. obama's coming down a metal staircase. it's a sign of such disrespect. >> reporter: trump tied the president's trip to clinton predicting more unfair trade deals to ohio. >> it will be the equivalent of nafta. >> reporter: the trump campaign is continuing to hammer clinton over that recently released fbi report on her use of a private e-mail serve pointing to investigators findings of scores of e-mails deleted. deputy campaign manager said the cover up is always worse than the crime. voters have a right to know if the records were illegally destroyed and what role clinton's aid may have played. >> it's more evidence that hillary clinton is the most dishonest candidate for president of the united states since richard nixon. >> reporter: trump also said he will participate in all three

presidential debates that get started later on this month unless there's some sort of natural disaster like a hurricane. he went onto hint his debate prep will be just as unorthodox as the campaign. he plans to spar with a stand in for his opponent. something that presidential candidates have done throughout the years. donald trump, at this point, does not plan to debate prep with a sparring partner standing in for hillary clinton at this point. >> interesting. thank you. on the democratic side we have breaking news right now. hillary clinton is holding a rare question and answer question with reporters on board her plane. she's warning that both democrats and republicans need to take the threat of russian interference in the u.s. election very seriously. let's bring in our senior political correspondent. what are we hearing from hillary clinton? >> talking about several different issues including the u.s. government's belief that russian intelligence is behind the recent hacks into democratic

political groups. we're turning that sound around to show you. we should add that hillary clinton gaggled with reporters in two parts because of a coughing fit that's been plaguing her today. >> i'll come back and talk to you formally. i wanted to welcome you onto the plane. >> reporter: it will be spent on plane with room for reporters. >> i've been just waiting for this moment. >> reporter: after more than 16 months traveling separately from the press corps that follows her every move. she's targeting the key state of ohio appearing at a labor day festival with her running mate tim kaine. >> we need to make sure we have an election that validated the positive future that will make life better for the people of ohio. empty promises and racist att k attacks won't do that. >> reporter: her remarks interrupt bid a lengthy coughing

fit. she still managed to fit in this jab at donald trump. every time i think about trump, i get allergic. kaine in pittsburgh with the help of joe biden as he accused trump of being out of class with the middle class. >> there's so many people like trump who look at us like we're not their equal. i'm sick of it. i have had it up to here. >> reporter: clinton is consistently leading the polls in pennsylvania but her campaign still focusing on the keystone state, seeing it as a must win for trump. this labor day, clinton and her big name surrogates are blanketing blue collar strongholds. bill clinton at a parade in detroit. bernie sanders in new hampshire where he crushed clinton in the democratic primary. urging liberal democrats and young supporters to choose his

adversary over trump. >> my dislike for donald trump is not just that he's a pathological liar. what he has chosen to do is make the corner stone of his campaign bigotry. >> reporter: the simmering controversy over clinton's e-mail practices while secretary of state has boiled over yet again. the fbi releasing notes from their interview with clinton that showed she claimed 39 times she did not recall or did not remember key details about her use of a private server for official business. clinton getting some back up from her vice presidential pick. >> there were e-mails that contained classified information that had been improperly marked. when she received the e-mail, the material that was classified, which is supposed to be flagged and identified as classified was improperly labeled. >> reporter: tim kaine also defended clinton for not having a press conference for more than 270 days. he said that lead handgun up to

november 8th, clinton will be very, very accessible to the press. today that manifested itself in this gaggle she had on board her plane where she addressed a number of issues including the belief by the u.s. government that russian intel is behind the hacking of democratic political groups. here is what she said. >> i'm really concerned about the credible reports about russian government interference in our elections. the fact that our intelligence professionals are now studying this and taking it seriously raises some grave questions about potential russian interference with our electoral process. when putin was asked about it, he could barely muster the energy to deny it. many of you saw that. he went onto say it was a good

thing. >> she also addressed these coughing fits, two of which he had today. supporters of donald trumps have pointed to as a problem with her health. something that is unfounded when you come to investigate that. she said i'm not concerned about the conspiracy theories. there's so many of them. i've lost track of them. i pay no attention to them. experts have said that both candidates should release more information about their health. >> thank you very much. we're getting more of hillary clinton's give and take with reporters aboard her campaign plane. it just fed in. she was asked, for example, about her knowledge for the way information was classified when she was secretary of state. listen to this. >> i went into the state department understanding classification. i'd been on the senate armed services committee for years before i was secretary of state. i take classification seriously. the fact i couldn't remember certain meetings, whether or not they had occurred doesn't in any

way affect the commitment that i had and still have to the treatment of classified material. >> let's get the democratic take on the presidential race now. i spoke with republican congressman shawnduffey in the last hour. he's a strong hillary clinton supporter. congressman, thanks very much for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> this latest statement we just heard from hillary clinton, aboard her plane, is that enough to reassure voters about her handling of classified information. you know the fbi director said was extremely careless and negligent? >> she has apologized first and foremost for the use of an e-mail server and indicated that if she had to do it all over again, she would take a different approach. what we have seen, repeatedly, is attempts by republicans to continue to beat this issue like it's a pinata in order to

distract from the fact that their presidential candidate has historically high disapproval ratings, particularly in communities of color all across the country. hillary clinton, i think, will continue to answer questions directly and candidly about what took place during her time as secretary of state. this is another example of that fact. the american people, i think, overall will be assured that she has the discretion and the judgment necessary to commander in chief and to handle classified information. >> congressman, you know that both of these candidates have high unfavorable ratings. a recent poll had hillary clinton at 59%. donald trump at 60%. they both have a lot of work to do. you care about hillary clinton. what does she need to do now to reduce that number? >> well, i think at the end of the day she's been the victim of more than 30 years of a republican relentless attack machine both during her time in arkansas as the first lady to

then governor bill clinton and this washington in the 1990s. then as a united states senator here in new york and, of course, as a member of the obama administration as the cabinet secretary and the two time presidential candidate. i think she needs to continue what she has been doing, which is to address the problems con fronting the american people, lay out a clear agenda and strategy for how to continue to build upon the progress of president barack obama as it relates to the economy, transportation and infrastructure, comprehensive immigration reform and our national security challenges. at tend of the day a majority of americans will be persuaded that she's the only candidate of the two main candidates for president who is ready, willing and able, has the capacity to step in on day one to be commander in chief. >> she's doing this q and a with reporters on her plane. a full conversation, she hasn't had one in about 270 days.

her reluctance to do that, to talk to the press in sustained way, maybe answering questions for an hour or so, the perception is she's not transparent enough. is that an accurate perception? >> not at all. she's done a series of one-on-one interviews over the last year plus time that she's been a presidential candidate, including in the presence of myself and others when i've been on the campaign trail with hillary clinton. she's been willing to answer questions that have been thrown at her by reporters. i think the labor day period that we're in right now in terms of the presidential campaign marks the fact that we're no longer in a marathon as it relates to the campaign in is a sprint. she will comport herself accordingly in terms of access to reporters and continue to speak directly to the american people, which she has been doing during the duration in this cam pin. >> she promised the reporters aboard her plane there would be significant changes to how the

clinton foundation operates. what do you think? does bill clinton need to step down if hillary clinton is elected president? >> well, i'm confident that the clintons, both secretary clinton as well as president bill clinton will do what is necessary to create confidence among the american people that there's adequate separation between the foundation and the hillary clinton administration once she's sworn in as president. i think we're in a unique circumstance because you have a former president, who a presidential candidate is married to. she served as first lady. then she was a united states senator. then a secretary of state and, if anything, this speaks to the lifetime of service of both clintons. as a result in terms of their continued work through the foundation, they're going to have to disentangle things in a way that would make the american people comfortable. wolf, let's be clear. this is all a result of the fact they have both dedicated their life to trying to improve the

condition of both the american people and people across the world as they have done with respect to the clinton foundation. particularly, on the is up of hiv and aids in africa and other parts of the under developed world. >> i need you to stand by. we have more questions. we need to take a quick break. let's do that. we'll be right back. safety doesn't come in a box. it's not a banner that goes on a wall. it's not something you do now and then. or when it's convenient. it's using state-of-the-art simulators

to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear, and many saw 75% and even 90% clearance in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask about humira, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. clearer skin is possible.

we're back with democratic congressman of new york. on this labor day the officials start the fall general election battle. we have another question about hillary clinton. she's facing a lack of enthusiasm according to reports especially among younger, black voters. sean diddy combs criticized her

for not speaking directly to the community. is she taking black voters for granted? >> not at all. in fact, hillary clinton, as you recall, began her campaign. the first major speech of this entire presidential journey was up in harlem at columbia university where she spoke to the issue of the need to deal with mass incarceration in america which has disproportionately impacted the african-american community. 1971 when the car on drugs we began less than 350,000 people were incarcerated in america. right now we have more than 2.1 million. disproportionate number of those individuals african-american and latinos. she's spoken to economic issues and other issues of importance to the african-american community. i have a lot of respect for sean combs as a hip hop mogul, but in terms of policy, hillary clinton has been dead on in dealing with

importance of issues from african-americans. >> president obama said during his visit to china, he's yet to hear a persuasive argument against the transpacific partnership from either the right or left. is that a criticism of hillary clinton who has lightly been very critical of the tpp? >> hillary clinton and president obama have agreed to disagree on this issue. i'm supportive of hillary clinton's position. i voted against providing president obama with fast track authority last year. i stand against tpp. i think we've got to deal with the fact these trade agreement fls the past have not benefitted the average american worker. that's the position that hillary clinton holds right now as it related to tpp. i think she's correct. i understand that president obama has a different position. much of his argument is anchored in the geopolitical benefits that would be provided to the united states as it relates to

defining the rules of trade. hillary clinton is pofocused on dealing with the economic realities of people hurt by trade agreements. i'm entirely supportive of that position. >> thanks for joining us. just ahead, a world leader, a group of them shows some stunning disrespect, at least one in particular calling the president of the united states, and i'm quoting him now, a son of a whore. will donald trump use that against hillary clinton? cnn obtains secret texts between isis leaders and terrorist who is are supposed to carry out more terror attacks. ♪ the sun'll come out tomorrow... ♪ for people with heart failure, tomorrow is not a given. but entresto is a medicine

narrator: it wasn't that long ago. years of devastating cutbacks to our schools. 30,000 teachers laid off. class sizes increased. art and music programs cut. we can't ever go back. ryan ruelas: so vote yes on proposition 55. reagan duncan: prop 55 prevents 4 billion in new cuts to our schools. letty muñoz-gonzalez: simply by maintaining the current tax rate on the wealthiest californians. ryan ruelas: no new education cuts, and no new taxes.

reagan duncan: vote yes on 55. sarah morgan: to help our children thrive. rare move by hillary clinton. she's been answering questions from journalist who have been traveling the with her. let's bring in dana bash and our cnn political analyst. she's the washington bureau chief for the daily beast. you've had chance to go through this exchange that hillary clinton had aboard her new plane with reporters. substantive questions were asked. >> there were a number of questions. she was asked if she had a casual relationship towards classified information. she insisted she did not and takes it very seriously.

about this aide who had used something called bleach bit to erase some previously purged e-mails but to fully erase them, she said i don't know thabt. it's not something i'm aware of. she also talked about guantanamo b bay. she said closing it should be the goal of the next president. she talked about russia. she said vladmir putin sees a benefit in disrupting. you have u.s. officials who believe that russia is behind these hackings of democratic groups. she also talked about her health. you have a lot of republicans backing donald trump who are looking at these, the coughing that we saw she had twice today. she said she's not concerned with conspiracy theories. there's nothing to back up that she has a health problem. medical experts saying they should release information. she covered a lot of things. >> she did. a lot of substantive. >> i know. i'm running through a list. >> i've been there where i've

had to get up because i had a cold. she had to stop her press conference. >> her gaggle on board. >> for a couple of minutes to get some water because of a coughing attack. >> she said it's pollen and this happened to her last labor day. she's dealing with a lot of republican who is are bringing up the issues and they are really unfounded. >> she's been under a lot of pressure to do these kind of q and a with reporters. she did it aboard her new plane. >> let's hope this is a habit now. with reporters traveling, it is a bit harder to hide. you can still do it but when they're walking by you every single day and chatting question, perhaps you'll get a bit more comfortable with the press that are traveling with her. we sure hope so. that's a critical part of this process is to address the press every day. >> can i add all of us been on press planes or on candidate's planes in the press area in the back during campaigns. it's mutually beneficial.

i fundamentally believe it helps the candidates for the press to see them in their comfort zones. not these being on plane with all these people is that comfortable but to see them as people, not just on the stump or in their prescribed areas is very helpful. it's very helpful for reporters and how they craft their story, how they see the candidate. you covered bill clinton. you saw him in the back of the plane probably more than any president. it's good for both of us. >> it's good for the american public to have reporters be their surrogates and ask these candidates questions that are of interest to voters out there. the voters need to know as much as possible. who will be the next president of the united states. interestingly enough on this day that hillary clinton invited reporters on her plane, donald trump invited reporters on his plane as well. he took a series of substantive questions. at one point he seemed to indicate david, that he's

softening his position on whether or not undocumented immigrant s can have a legal status in the united states. >> i believe the phrase he used is all things are on the table. it's different from what he said the week before which is different from what he was campaigning on most of the primaries. i think the trump campaign is struggling to land in that sweet spot where they hold on to their core supporters who were really moved by building a wall, kicking undocumented immigrants out and expanding to voters of color, young people and upscale whites, educated, suburban, affluent folks in the suburbs who they need if they will challenge clinton. >> he did seem to indicate a new position compared to what he said last week and the week before. >> that's really been one of his issues. the clinton campaign, as they see it, they just want to hold him to what he started his campaign on talking about mexico

not sending their best. some of them being criminals and rapist that he's talking about building a wall and a deportation force. i think they feel that they can emphasize that in ads which were seen going up in these battleground states that are repeating these positions and honestly, they are pretty hard positions to move away from. they are extremely memorable. they are the pillars of his campaign. >> he's going to have to get an answer on this. there's a prime time presidential forum. it's not a debate and then on the 26th you have the first presidential debate. you have to imagine that he's going to get questions about this and the variations that he's taken in his immigration plan. that's when people are tuning in. this is when it counts. >> it was interesting today, if you were watching, the president at his news conference that was here in the united states early this morning in china. he was asked to react to what the president of the philippines said, who called him, and i'm

quoting him now, a son of a whore. a son of a whore. this is the filipino president speaking about the president of the united states. the president of the united states later annoyancing the meeti i-- announcing the meeting not going to happen because of that. >> he cancelled the bilateral meeting. why wouldn't he? he did what you would expect is president of the united states if you're called something so vulgar by another world leader who you're supposed to meet with later in the day or the next day. donald trump is already using things like this. i haven't heard him talk about this specifically, but the idea that there was a malfunction with the stairs when the president arrived at the summit and had to go back down the back stairs as proof that world leaders don't respect the president. you could also look at the flip side is maybe this is the

trumpization of global leadership that people can feel they can say what they want to say and maybe it's him feeling like he's politically correct, him, the head of the philippines. it's not the way we have come to expect world leaders to speak. >> if voters want something more like i that, they'll have that option come november. i think it would be wise for the trump campaign to reflect on the way that president bush handled the shoe throwing incident. that's the way in line with obama is handling this incident. when you're the world leader, you have to take some of these incidents and deescalate. >> the president of the philippines, he must apologize to the president of the united states. i think everyone can agree on that. stand by. much more coming up. cnn's exclusive look at the

tonight, exclusive new details about the way isis plans and carries out terror attacks against western countries. cnn has obtained tens of thousands of pages from the investigation into the paris terror attack. they include photos that have never been shown to the public before. actual communications between the isis terrorists and their handlers. cnn senior international correspondent is joining us now with her exclusive report.

clarissa, you spent months working on this report. >> that's right. it wasn't just me. it was team. we had tens of thousands of pages of documents, most of them in french. we got an unprecedented window into isis and how they orchestrate attacks in the west. take a look. >> reporter: november 13th, ten isis operatives attack paris targeting bars, restaurants, a concert hall and stadium. shooting as many people as they could before blowing themselves up. by te by the end of the massacre, 130 people were dead. now, for the first time cnn has obtained access to thousands of pages of document and photos from the internal european investigation which shed new light on the sophisticated

network isis uses to coordinate terror attacks across europe. the documents reveal another suspected terrorists never been made public when investigators linked to the cell that carried out the paris attacks. he was on the loose in europe for more than six months. other isis operatives are right now believed to be living among ordinary citizens in europe, plotting other strikes directed by senior isis handlers in syria, according to multiple sources. within days of the shocking rampage in paris, police learned that two of the three suicide bombers at the stadium entered europe by posing as syrian refugees. these surveillance photos, never seen before publicly, show the bombers as they approach their target. this is the moment they detonate their devices. according to the documents, two more men were part of the isis cell. they traveled the same refugee route as the suicide bombers,

blending in with thousands of people from war torn countries. they were eventually arrested and recorders of their capture and interrogation show how isis supported the attackers throughout their mission. this is their story based mainly on multiple interrogations. early october, six weeks before the paris attack, the documents show their journey began in raqqah, syria. the men doesn't know each other's real names or what their mission would be. he only knew they were being sent to france to do something for the good of god. much of their journey was directed by a shadowy isis leader. he arranged meetings, cell phones, money and transportation for them. we asked a french expert to

analyze the documents obtained by cnn. >> an isis operative is key in sending those individuals into the attacks because he's the one who recruited them, who funds them, train them and provided electronic devices to them. he was always in contact with them. >> reporter: according to transcripts of interrogation, they traveled from raqqah across the turkish border on to the coastal city of izmir. they receive instructions from their isis handler in syria through encrypted apps such as telegram and what's app. throughout their journey they're only given enough money and explanation to get to the next

stop. >> it's set up to intricate support system for the terror cells throughout europe. >> reporter: in the middle of the night, the team makes the treacherous crossing to greece in a boat filled with dozens of refugees. they are picked up by the greek navy along the way. the two bombers that would attack the paris stadium make it through and start moving north toward their target. they are held in greece for about a month. officials would not say why they were released. authorities believe that delay was significant. they would not have chance to become part of the paris attacks. they contact their isis handler and arranges another 2,000 euros for them. flushed with cash, the pair continue along the refugee route. as they work their way across

europe, he passes the hours doing something strikingly unislamic, looking at porn. documents show he visited almost two dozen porn sites on his phone. november 14th, the day after the paris attacks. they arrive in austria. they apply for asylum and end up in this refugee center where they stayed for weeks. authorities now believe they were not only part of the same terror cell as the paris bombers but also they were planning another attack. they were in contact with people in several european countries and were researching travel to france. investigators believe they were waiting for a third man to join them. a mysterious isis operative. he has never been publicly named until now. he traveled from syria along the

refugee route carrying a phone number linked to the terror cell of the ring leader of the paris attacks according to documents as well as a photo of islamic state fighters standing before their flag. december 10th, nearly a month after the paris attacks, he finally arrives at the refugee center where the two others are. later the very same day, police raid the center. they are arrested. here's what's next according to documents. in the scramble, he tries unsuccessfully to get rid of his sim card. he's nowhere to be seen. investigators find this. the cell phone charging right beside the bed. it has the phone number saved in it. also a photo taken just 30 minutes before the raid. it shows him sitting on a bed in the refugee center right next to where they slept.

>> we can assume that he was also part of the same plot and was instructed to carry out an attack. >> from the time he slipped away last december, he has been a wanted man according to sources who also confirmed he was finally arrested in july. documents show this is the facebook page he had on his phone and in recent months, it appears he was publicly posting updates from belgium. investigators are now analyzing 1600 pages of data from his phone. they are looking to extradite him him from austria. >> are you concerned there may be many others who use the same route who you just didn't know about? >> yes. we've seen that in the recent weeks. several of them, individuals who carry out individual attacks,

inspired attacks and were coming back from syria using the same route. >> there's a possibility that there are many more that you just don't know about? >> there's high possibility. documents show the phone has also proven to be a treasure trove for investigators, revealing an isis network that fanned out through southern and northern europe. he had dozens of contacts. some gave advice on crossi in borders and evading the law. one says he was able to sneak into france by hiding in the bathroom of a train. december 15th, five days after the raid, isis handler reaches out to his leader. how are you? what's become of you? there's no reply. now, wolf, we do have updates. they have been extradited to france and since our story came out this morning, we're now

hearing that austrian immediating, citing prosecutors, are saying the third suspect has been extradited to austria from belgium. they believe there's as many as 30 to 40 people involved with facilitating the attacks that are still at large. >> i need you to stand by. we have that's right after a quick break. been making

we are back on the way isis plans terror attacks against the west. paul is joining us as well. he worked very closely with clarissa on this investigation. what do these documents reveal about how isis plots attacks? >> well, i think one of the things that really struck us, it's easy to under estimate isis given all of the rhetoric that is out there. they do appear to be rubbinning pretty sophisticated operation. it is the way they described never knowing in advance exactly

what if end goal was. they were only given instructions one step at a time. they were only given enough money and enough information to get to the next step in their journey. and what seems clear as well, when you look at the broader picture of this net work they built up, is that many people don't even know they are in fact directly part. people are only given as much information as they need to complete their very specific task. that means that as the isis handlers back in syria the man known as akmed have a full view of the operation as it's unfolding on the ground. >> they believe isis was planning an even more ambitious attack than the one we saw in paris last november. what are you learning about this? >> i see a official sell me

indications that they were planning a much bigger more ambitious plot than the paris attacks. they were forced to scale that back. operatives were not able to reach their destination. the intelligence suggesting those targets were going to be in the netherlands and also in france notably shopping centers in paris. it could have been much worse than it was. >> what does this investigation reveal about the possibility of your sleeper cells throughout europe and the united states? >> this is what's quite chilling about looking through the documents. you realize these were three operatives. they were clearly in touch with so many different people, fanning out all across of europe and various other countries as well. what you realize is that it's very difficult for investigators

to know who might be involved in something dangerous and who is just an innocent contact. let me give you an example. hedadi was in contact with a man in france that was a researcher -- a technician rather at a top nuclear facility. it would obviously send a lot of red flags up. we know upon hearing about the contact he was having immediately placed him under observation. it is difficult. how can investigators know concretely there was anything pernicious in terms of this contact. we know of two other men that were arrested along with hedadi and uzman. many peoples names will pop up once or try and investigators trying go through the phones and find out who is a threat and who

is an innocent bystander. >> thank you so much for your excellent reporting. paul, thanks to you as well for participating for all of this. that's it for me. thanks for watching. erin burnett outfront starts now. mixed mess ojs on immigration. he now says she not ruling anything out. hillary clinton back ton trail speaking at a labor day event as she is taking questions from the traveling press for the first time since november. and the tense moment between president obama and putin. it could interfere with the u.s. election. let's go o"outfront ". good evening. i'm pamela brown.
